Automating word

instead of selecting and moving on...u cud navigate through lines using the object.

i think it is document.Sentences or document.Lines

Just to check that we’re all looking at the same thing: - when I run the code below, which is based on your snippet, the difference is that all the new section breaks are inserted at the beginning of the document if the application is invisible, instead of at 24-line separation if it is shown.

You probably understand that the root of the problem is that what constitutes a line is volatile, because it depends so much on formatting, which is done dynamically. That is why there is no Line object. The MoveDown, etc,  methods depend on the display.

Are your ‘lines’ limited by anything other than the fold-point, e.g. paragraph mark, full-stop, newline, or a table row? If so we could work on that.

If not , perhaps you need to re-appraise your approach. What is your objective?
